I was referring more to the misaligned and wavy body panels with messed up, highly glossy black paint which is highlighting so many flaws. Nearly any other color or something more matte would go a long way.

For what the car was built for, no complaints. more like an unfortunate cost of doing business byproduct. It just detracts significantly from the whole for me.

Does BAT think it is April fools day? I've seen some weird shit being auctioned, but this might be the weirdest

I remember back in 94 when I bought a brand new Ford probe GT and I took it to a detailer to get it waxed (OK no comment about me being lazy) he had one of those E500s or 500E’s and I got to go for a spin. It felt super fast back then but that was 1994 fast. Still a great looking car today.

That's so bad-ass. I used to drool over that car in HS/college. I'm sure it will end at well over $50k, so no dice for me, but great car.

I think BaT missed a prime opportunity by not listing themselves and instead selling directly to Hearst Autos.

I was going to say this is going to be a $20K 8V GTI, but someone suggested in the thread that reserve might be 26-30, and man, nostalgia is a HELL of a drug.

Ha ha manual steering and no AC. Talk about sweatin to the oldies.

Now, if it were a 16V...
